Help with number of days in Paris vs Wengen with 7 year old

I’ll be visiting Paris and then Wengen, Switzerland and the Jungfrau region in early-mid September for 10 days. I can’t decide if I should spend 4 days in Paris or 4 days in Wengen. We are planning one day at Disneyland because…7 year old. And planning on one day of travel to Wengen. Would we regret not spending 4 days in Wengen or can we do most things, at a kid pace, in 3 days? Thanks!

Unfortunately the best dinosaurs in Paris are closed this year for a remodel. But I recommend taking the kid to the French Aviation Museum. It's very popular with French schoolkids; I've never been there when there wasn't a couple classes doing a field trip.

Sorry to ask a very picky question but does 4 days mean 5 nights? That gives you 4 full days so 1 for Disney and 3 for other stuff.

And whether to spend 4 days in Wengen, I'd say it would depend on your kiddo. My great nephews (7 and 4) would probably love Wengen more than Paris but they're pretty outdoorsy and are not city kids.

Hi Pam. We’d add one night in either location but also traveling in/out so it’d be total of 4 nights max. We’ll likely make it back to Paris but not sure we’ll go to Wengen again besides this trip. So really wondering if we’ll be sufficiently entertained (it looks breathtaking) to add the extra day in the Alps.
